Chapter 461

Finally, she decided to recruit Lone Shadow to make her become Fiona's subordinate. When the time came, she would use her position to completely eradicate Lone Shadow! She never expected that b*tch to still be indifferent even in the face of such an amazing offer. Fiona gritted her teeth, her face filled with rage. Her subordinates didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. Even seeing their faces pissed Fiona off. She kicked them twice and said angrily, "Get lost. Don't stand around being an eyesore!" The group of men quickly retreated as if they had been freed. The villa was empty. Fiona punched the table, her eyes full of scheming thoughts. Was there nothing else she could do? "Hmph. Just wait and see!" ...... At 9:30 p.m., the Jules family's villa was brightly lit. Howard lay on the sofa, sighing from time to time. The international live streaming of Battle Royale was very successful, and the ratings rose rapidly. However, Howard was very unhappy. Not only had he been terrified, but he also peed in his pants with countless viewers watching. Right then, whenever he went out, he felt like anyone who looked at him was laughing at him. Amazing. He had no pride left. Zoey shook Howard's hand and comforted him. "Dad, it's my fault. It's all my fault. If I could have been as good as Lucille, I would have protected you. You wouldn't have gotten frightened like that." "Silly girl, how can I blame you? It's obviously that d*mned Tech Connex Pavilion! They must have done it on purpose. Otherwise, how could I be so humiliated?" Howard snorted. Zoey agreed and comforted him. "Yes, of course. Thank you for your hard work, Dad. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered like this! You're the best dad in the world!" "You've got such a sweet mouth." Howard couldn't help laughing. He would never forget the night when they first entered the virtual world and encountered the brown bear. At that time, everyone's hair stood on end and they turned to run! Even his own son, Charles, was running for his life! It was Zoey who stood in front of him and protected him with her life. Her petite body was trembling with fear, but she did not hesitate to protect him. Howard sighed. "Speaking of which, I'm such a worthless father. I failed to protect you, Zoey. Sigh... I'm useless." "Please don't say that!" Zoey's smile was sweet and she wanted to add a few more words when she caught a glimpse of Charles coming back from outside. His expression didn't look very good. He seemed dull and stiff as if he had lost his soul. "Charles... what's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick?" she asked. On the second night of the live broadcast in the virtual world, everyone thought that Charles was the one who had secretly voted. Ever since he ran out of the cave in a fit of anger, he had been acting strangely. Zoey had questioned him several times, but Charles always said that it was nothing. "Charles? Charles?" "Ah." Charles raised his head, but he didn't even look at her. He only said to Howard on the sofa, "Dad, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going upstairs to sleep." After that, he went up the stairs and locked the door. Zoey's smile froze on her face. Before she could respond, a servant hurried over and reported to Howard, "Mr. Timothy has been released from the detention center, Mr. Jules. Do you want to send a car to pick him up?" Hearing that, Howard's heart skipped a beat. So quickly? His stepson was released already? However, he didn't actually intend to buy the sports car worth tens of millions of dollars that he had promised...
